I agree with sput_1, I hope I'm not part of the problem. I'm fairly new here too. I am very paronoid too, because there's a thread here where everybody talks about building there on computers and how bad prebuilt suck. Well I've got one of those prebuilt ones. I suddenly awakened to the fact that I'm 57 years old and I'm about the only one here who doesn't have enough smarts to build his own, I don't understand why I didn't see that a long time ago, just blind I guess. I to don't know if I should post or not. Pretty much decided to just sit around and watch and listen. No matter what anybody says, this is one of the best forums around. In general everyone acts in a mature manner and the Mods do a good job of taking care of problems. Most other forums I've been to must have no rules about language and flaming, because it goes on all the time. But not here. All I can say, is, I think this is the best forum around and everybody keep up the good work.
Yes, there was a contest. There have been several. I won it once. I got first prize. It was a motherboard. I used it to build a new machine some time later. Usually, one is judged on number of posts, but also on the quality of those posts. Its one thing to post a hundred replies of "I concurr" after someone has said something bright. And its quite another to be the one that is CONSTANTLY SAYING THE BRIGHT THINGS. Its not easy to win, at least for mortals like you lot. As a previous winner, though, its most likely that informally I and numerous other of your Masters ( ) would be excluded.
well sorry about starting such a thread guys, i wasnt really complaining but just wanted to say all this is very sad .... and yes, most of the ppl who answer crap are young ppl, because (hopefully) adults know when they don't know something, they know how wide and almost infinite is the knowledge etc. i don't know what about you, but the more I grow (yep im only 22 ) the more I realize I don't know anything in fact ... Well I was only throwing ideas anyway, as I said, no offense was meant to anyone
